I'm not saying don't play Bobby at all. But him and Kuzma on the floor together is suicide.

We have a trio of dudes we're asking to play SF who can't play SF. Prince and Coffey are very limited end of rotation types and Kuzma is a 4. I'd rather just keep running 6'4 guys out there.

13 turnovers in a half isn't going to cut it

No kind of about it

That's on the coach and the GM.

Would've been nice to have a defensive wing that's not AJax the last couple years next to Dame who could have played with this group too.

The rotation feels a lot better with KPJ in it!

He’s here at least this entire year. We may have to move GTJ with Kuz and/or Bobby to get that guy.

Which sucks, because GTJ is a much better player.

Just to be clear, Dairy can play and is a solid defender but he shouldn't be guarding lanky-ass, shooting-ass Brandon Ingram.

I didn't see all of Kuzma minutes but he looked like a capable backup. He had some pore defensive lapses but he did not look awful. Now, Bobby, is off to another poor start. He seems to need a month to get right to start the season but maybe now he is just too unathletic.

Turner needs to let the three ball fly. He’s had decent looks but just pump fakes and goes nowhere.

Nah, I think draft AJ Johnson over the bevy of big wings that went right after him was worth it.

No doubt. He’s a two. He can’t play 3. Just can’t. However, it’s also pretty easy in the nba to isolate guys.

I like AJ, and would love him as a really good bench spark plug. But we should’ve traded him as an asset to get a wing this summer. Maybe he had no value league wide, idk. He’s ours now though, and we still need a playable wing. Need to give something to get something and I can’t see anyone giving us a starter for Kuz or Bobby

He is on Ingram because he will keep him shooting midrange and won't get muscled but he lacks length so a player like Ingram will feast unless Green gets help.

I would give Rollins a look on Ingram. Trent Jr on Quickley, Green on Barnes, and Giannis on Barrett.

It's why I said after the last game that KPJ is more important than most people think.

Obvious second half changes:

1) No more BP at center. Minimize time on the court that Turner and Giannis are on the bench at the same time.Otherwise put in Sims.

2) Don't burn out Rollins by having him dribbling up the court. It is antithetical to the idea of pushing the pace. Get someone else bring it up.

3) I like Kuzma only shooting layups. But he's not a good fit with almost every lineup because he can't shoot.

I’m actually kinda fine with AJG on Ingram? If Ingram wants to take turn around twos, let him.

Dump it off to Giannis, Rollins.

Needs to get that jumper working. Looks like he has no confidence in it.

Tell him to imagine he's playing against the Bucks and not for the Bucks...lol.

Then he won't be able to miss
